The stormy and inclement weather of winter gives a-capital chance for the farmer to repair many of his dilapidat ed tools, and to make many new ones of simple construction within the reach of small ineans and a little iueennity. The boys, too, are always delighted to help at any job of this kind; it gives them a chance they relish, and sets them thinking about other trades than their own. The writer is familiar with several farmers who keep a small forge, and can set a horseshoe when in a har ry, aud even set a tire on a wagon wheel, if need be, and who are always ready to pnt a new bolt in the . wagon the plow whenever wanted. Of coarse the number of such ingenious fanners are few; they generally drilt in to other trades; bat there are endless small jobs about any large farm that require comparitively little skill or in genuity to dispatch in a style as good for all practical uses as if done by a professional mechanic. The wood bench should be well pro vided with good tools of the more com mon sorts, such as three or four saws, a brace aud set of bits, a few files of different sires, three planes, a jack, a joiner aud smoothing plane, a drawing knife and spokeshave, two screw driv- ers a dozen gimlets and half-dozen awls, a strong wooden vise and anoth er of iron, a dozen chisels and half a dozen gouges.- With these tools, costing ouly n few dollars, the. farmer can make many cf the simple wooden; .tools ot : the farm, such as snow-shovels and scrapers, beet les for splitting logs, a drag or harrow for leveling laud, and many other thing* that will readily suggest themselves to careful husbandman. Then, if oiie has si: addlers vise and a few vihxed ends, he can very eouly mend up broken harness;' or, if be lias not the patience for this, he can at least repair dilnniges by a few copper rivets and si .punch, which should sihvsiys be on bund for this purpose; it takes but- a moment to make a good, strong' splice with a tivet. aud for rough work it will answer eveiy purpose. Therffis noth iug ln.ndier than a few coils of copper anil iron wire of differ.-nt sizes, and is pair nl jiiiei'D to use them with; for at- .'taoiiingflabels..to trees,' eradicating; .bo rers from apple and peach trees, rnend- iug broken tool-handies and mauy oth er uses, a bit of wive is ’ invaluable, and' if fin- bays btive a key to the shop they will soon lentil how to make a rabbit snare our of a fine piece of copper wire fcbat will adf.rr.ys te]l; in fact, the • boys will .appreciate the shop thoroughly,- andt-veti if -they : do leave things in dis order sometimes, and <jftciu break a tool, they willgsdu in practical knowl edge of mechanics far uione ; than they destroy, and will dud useful occupation for many an hour which might be -oth erwise lost in idleness or mischief. There are a,few owners of large farms who have a natural gift for such things who .will find.it worth while to buiid a forge anil do considerable smith’s work on the fstrm. There is great conveni ence in it to one who is at a distance from auy smithy, suid tlnare is great- fascination in wonskiiig in metals for for those who have patience and skill for such things, but it is a good deal more of trade than many suppose, re quiring consider lble practice to be proficient in it, and most farmers will ouly find it useful to have a good vise, small anvil, and a few bolts and rivets of different sizes to do cold work witli, such aa mending a hoop on a washtub, etc. The ■rox&vsigmed "will be; found at his dd s'and in Ferry?

It is also claimed that this same toad powder attracts alt the poison of a pestilential tumor. Re ceipt for toad powder; Take three or f-onr large toads, seven of eight spiders find as many scorpions, pnt them togeth er in an open crucible and allow them to remain for some time; then add vir gin wax and seal the vessel well; cook quickly till all is dissolved, work it wall with a spatnia into an ointment, to be pnt in a silver box well sealed and hab itually earned on the person. Remedy.—Choose large black spiders, marked with yellow spots, inclose then three or four in a linen bag—they must be alive—and tie around , your neck. They would keep belter if put in a box either of gold, silver or tin, with air holes oh all sides Equal quantities of crude mercury, corrosive sublimate and arsenic, ponnd well in a mortar and put into quills, sealed at eitliir end with wax, wrap the quills in silk or fine linen, and wear be tween the coat and shirt on either side of the br-ast. Take four dried toads and apply on the groin and in t’he arm pits. During tlie last plague at Marseilles ail those whose clot brag did not touch those of tho infected escaped all harm, though frequently exposed to the breath of those walking skeletons. When in the sphere of the emanations of the body of the sick', do not swallow your suliva, but spit continually.

Take one cr more toads—the largest you csin find--pnt in sin nnglazed vessel, cemeut it well and put in an oven until the toad is reduced to ashes. Dm sc, one drachm in a glass of wine.

Two or three hundred Years ago ser mons were of snch inordinate length that they would not be tolerated now adays, when every body 4s dn a hurry and short stories are asked for. Tbs Christian Union says; In the seventeenth century sermons were from two or three hoars long. Hour-glasses were -need instead of clocks. A nonconfoiTmet-anee preached on-drunkeunes, and had exhausted his usual tune. Holding the hour-glass in his left hand he exclaimed: “I know yon are good -feHo ws, so let us have an other glass.” . Barrows and. Smith preached long sermons. When the latter was once preaching before the coart, his whole congregation fell asleep. The speaker by dun of jond calls finally succeeded in:waning due of the losds, pilose nap was sounder and more noisy than the re«t, and exclaimed, “My lord, I am sorry to interrupt your repose-, bnt I must, beg of yon that yon will not snore quite -so loud least -yon awaken 9iisv majesty.” A Danish clergyman, finding most of his -congregation asleep, took dhsrttlecock from bis pocket, attracting the -attention of those who were still awake, who jogged those who were sleeping. Tbe whole congregation im mediately looked with the greatest as tonishment. “-When,” -said the preacher, “I announce to yon sacred aDd important truth, you are . not ashamed to go to sleep; bnt -when I play the fool, yan.axe.all eje and ear:” , 1 HOUSE HOLD RECIPES.

Theframersiiaye ca^anraed.iij it the very means" neeesssb-y to make their united efforts of some avail, and the effect has been that those who have taken advantage of the opportunity afforded have profited very much. Be fore it was found that farmers meant to combine to purchase wholesale for themselves, there wrs no offers of re duced prices on the part of any dealers, wholesale or retail, to the agricultur ists. When it was seen, however, that a determined move was being made, and that not only one faimer, but thousands were working together, the scene changed as.if by magic, and offers from wholesale and. letail dealers poured in, so that the members had no difficulty in getting goods at valnes greatly below the old time, retail prices. Again ,by combinations, the Patrons of Husbandry haye cheapened fire in- SHfimee antil it is no longer a burden, In numberless instances, indeed, since inauguration in the order in this do minion, benefits have accrued to that portion «f the farming' community, which has ts&aa »d<vamage -of -the or ganization. It is begining ..to be . ac knowledged by others, that the agri cultural interest is a powerfnl one, and the time has gone by when it is sneer ed at as a “mere crowd of clodhoppers”, who were only allowed to exist for the benefit of the retail dealer, the tree a gent or the patent gate ’ man.

The best remedy for bleeding at the nose, as given by Dr. Gleason, is the vigorous motion of the jaws, us if in the art of mastication. In the case of a child, a small wad of paper should be pnt In the mouth,, and the child instructed to chew it hard. It is the motion of the jaws that stops the flow of blood. This remedy is simple, but it has never been known to fail. To Make Mats fob the Table.— Take small sticks of black walnut and pine; plane them down to one-sixteenth of an inch in thickness and one-half inch iu width. Place them alternately and glue to a piece of heavy cloth. They can be cut round; square, diamond- shaped, or any other pretty way, and, when varnished, make quite a pretly ornamental mat. Wavxbs.—Melt a quarter of a pound of butter and mix wi'h a half si pint of milk, a tablespoonful. of salt, a wine glass of wine, three beaten eggs and sufficient sifted flonr to enable you to roll them out easily.

J., noticing the coiumunic-Aion from a city in tlie January nnmbej. on poul try-keeping, sends ns the following ac count of his experience:—On leaving the city, one of my first concerns, after get ting well settled in this village, was to obtain a few fowls, arid having read a good deal about the different breeds, I fixed np the Light Brahmas. I foniid them good layers, and good mothers; but we soon tired of'them for the table, the meat being soaiew hat coarse and stringy. I then procured eggs of my neighbors, and soon hstd a mixture of several different ’kinds—smaller, more compact, and the meat more fender and solid. I have adhered to this plan for several yesirs, and havo good healthy fowls, never having cholera, gapes, or any other epidemic among them. We winter about 20, and start off in the spring with some 60 chicks, more or less. « We are scarcely ever without eggs, though less plentiful, of course, at some seasons than at others. Hens must have rest, and their moulting sea sons when they do not lay for a short time. I feed principally, eorn and wheat screenings, with usually a hot mess in the-middle of the day, consist ing of cracked corn, middlings, brau, pretty well mixed with red pepper, which we raise for the purpose, and scraps from-the table.

This cake will keep for years. Caiumvxs.—With the-advent of cold weather there -aTe certain kinds of sweets which are popular, among which are cara-mels. The following is an ex cellent-hud-a.' reliable reeeipt; Three ponnds of brown sugar, one-half pound of butter, two tablespoons of molasses, same quantity of vinegar, one enp of cream' of milk. Boil twenty-five min utes; when off the fire add vanilla. Beat ten minutes to granulate, dr if crisp is pneiaiKod, do not beat. 'Hulded.'Cobn.—Take white corn, if you can got it; none bnt plump corn; shell and boil it iu weak lye until the hull is broken'; then clesin off the lye, fill the kettle, or thru the. «orn into a dish pan; take your hands add rub the corn well; wash in several waters (tlie old way ; is nine rimes), bnt six -will do.; then clean yonr kettle and return to tbe farmer; and it only requires confined sfoveppht iiTptSnty of water' and boil until very tender, which usually takes almofftrlfe enfire dky.

That the Emperor of all the Enssias .should come and find no game would never «to. A happy idea seized one of the foresters. Regardless of -cost, a tsime bear was procured m the nick of time, turned loose within the ring, and now all wns ready. The circle: closed in; Brnin was discovered at tbe foGt of a free; they fell back; the Emperor ad vaneed to Are; -bnt now came the climax —just as the trigger was about to be drawn Briiin rose slowly on his hind feet and began to perform the national dance- This exhibition saved his life, but it did ihe reverse of securing for those who introduced 3sim to the presence that roy al favor which theit ingenuity deserved. Pebsimmons:—This fruit will be appre ciated this season where the apples have, been a failnre, and if good varieties should be gathered carefully and laid on shelves in a cellar t hey will keep good for months. It nill be well, liow- ever, to know -whether it be a good va riety before storing away, as some are ro utterly worthies as not to be worth gathering, while a good one is really defiicious. Many persons suppose that a per simmon is a persimmon, and that all are alike. This is a great mistake, for there are various grades. The three essential qualities in a per simmon are, good size, good quality andiew seeds; of coarse the produc tiveness of the free Shaald be also tak<;n into account.

The Pittsburg, Columbus and St. Louis Railroad has been experimenting since February 1st with the Gray tele- plione-mny-duplex invention of Elisha Gray, of Chicago cn one of their cir cuits between this city and Pittsburg.

Borne of the common sense facts in the physical culture of these little .ones known to the more experienced mothers may not come amiss to these who have had bnt little care of children. The foundation must be well laid to in sure healthy and happy children. The child must be well slept, ■'well aired, well fed and well bathed. By a thor ough understanding and practice of these four simple rules, much of the physical, mental sind moral suffering in life would be avoided by parent as well as child If a healthy child—and a delicate one proportionately— is regu larly put to bed about dark in a qniet, wsll ventilated-or even cold room, after a supper of-plain food, it trill naturally awake at, daybreak, good-natured, with a keen appetite for a wholesome; break fast. Nutritions, plain food, at regular hours, with no candy or stimulants, and free bathing, help the system to ward e , off many prevalent chijdred’s ailments, and-tp bear with less danger,the few that must necessarily come, to the majority of little ones. The child that is just given a little confectionery, or any un suitable food, then rocked to sleep should -cause, no surprise at waking peevish and feverish. It is simply the yesult of imaginary affection and want of knowledge on the part of the one iu charge. It will certainly pay in the end to search diligentiy for the cause wheu a little child is proverbially cross.-- Western Farm Journal. A bail way locomotive lasts from thirty-five to forty years. Someiiines however, as chance one may see half a century of service. For the first five or six years a locomotive needs no repairs, provided it meets with no accidents. Then it will need new boiler tubes, when, in another five years, the tires, boiler and engine boxes must be replac ed. The locomotive is then good for another score of -years, when the frames, axles and some of the small points re quire looking after. Then, like the traditional Yankee jack-knife, it has a new blade and a new handle. It is an acknowledged fact that American loco motives .-see more service tihsm those made In auy other country.
